So my SWMBO has been drinking a lot of carbonated water from Trader Joe's. I decided to try the 1 liter (clear) bottles out for beer. I collected a few and bottled a third of my Sierra Nevada Celebration clone in 22 oz glass bombers, a third in 740 ml PET brown bottles and a third in the Trader Joe's water bottles. They were all bottle conditioned in a cardboard box, in a dark closet for 3 weeks at 75' F. Then they were chilled in the fridge for 3 days. I could not taste a difference. The carbonation was about the same.
For those of you on a budget wishing to use soda bottles for beer, go for it. Just keep 'em dark during conditioning.
